Reduce your food waste

In recent news statistics revealed some shocking figures about how much food we waste in Britain.
With almost 50% of the total amount of food thrown away in the UK comes from our homes. According to research, each year we throw away 7 million tonnes of food and drink, more than half of which could have been eaten.
One of the main reasons we tend to throw away food is that we have a habit if preparing too much, but one way to avoid wasting the extra food is to store leftovers.
Not only will storing left overs have a positive environmental impact, but it will also save you lots of money.
The foods we tend to waste the most include salad and vegetables, which both can be easily stored for days later.
